About this piece

Chopin's Waltz in D♭ major, Op. 64 No. 1 (1847). “Minute” here means “small”, not sixty seconds.

In French it is nicknamed the “Valse du petit chien”, the waltz of a little dog chasing its own tail.

How to play it in Plush Keys

  1. Open the app and tap “Play a Song”.
  2. Type “Minute Waltz” in the search box and pick the song.
  3. When a falling colored bar reaches the line, press the key of the same color. If it feels hard, choose “Easy”.

“A♭ G A♭ C B♭ G” keeps circling around. Go slowly at first and let your fingers learn the shape.
